Question: Can I find a platform that lets me have conversations with custom avatars that sound like real people?

One option that stands out is AskNow, an immersive audio conversation platform that offers natural-sounding conversations with a range of avatars, including fictional and historical figures. It's designed for low-latency interactions and works on multiple platforms. With a monthly subscription, you can spend up to 50 minutes a month chatting with a variety of avatars, and it's good for both personal and professional use.

Another option is Yepic AI, which offers real-time avatars for more advanced digital communication. The platform includes tools like Studio Express for generating AI avatar videos and Video Agents for chat-based interactions. It's multilingual, can recognize faces and integrate with large language models, so it has potential for education, health and customer service.

If you want to get more personal and interactive, check out Sensay. The company lets you create your own AI avatars based on people's personalities, which can be used in customer service, entertainment and education. Sensay prioritizes security and privacy, and it's in beta testing for now with free use available.
